Postnatal neurogenesis in the neuroproliferative areas of the brain

Abstract

Annotation. The purpose of the work is to systematize and analyze existing problematic aspects in the study of postnatal neurogenesis in neuroproliferative areas of the brain. The relevance of this problem is due to the growing share of neurodegenerative diseases and the search for the possibility of their treatment. From the databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, Web of science, Scopus, 28 sources on this problem were selected for consideration, regardless of age, with a predominance of publications from the last 10 years. The state of research related to the study of postnatal neurogenesis in the neuroproliferative areas of the brain (hippocampus) is highlighted as a result of the scientific and theoretical analysis of literature sources. Further branches of research are outlined. The lack of clear data on the structure of different areas of the hippocampus under the action of neurogenesis-inhibiting factors with subsequent stimulation in these same areas was revealed. The need for standardization of immunohistochemical methods of research and improvement of the method of detection of known neurospecific proteins, which are markers of proliferation or apoptosis, has been identified, which will enable both the comparison of the results obtained by different researchers and their interpretation.
